BREAKING: Vikings plan to 'engage all agents for their QB options', FA QB Thread

What does let the market flesh out mean? 

Go like hell after the guy you want and get it done...

My guess is that it means at some point today, the Vikings are going to know exactly what it's going to take to sign Cousins, Bridgewater, Keenum and Bradford, and whatever QB2 they might be targeting for each option. 

They likely know what those numbers look like for each, and what their own top offer is, but they don't account for teams going nuts, counter offers, upping the ante, and the like. 

The Vikings are a very disciplined team financially, and it wouldn't surprise if me if they drop out of the Cousins thing if the money goes crazy.

Sounds like let's just say this because it's what we're supposed to say. Then we can move fast and get the guy we want and have been talking to all along.

Totally agree. And I'm completely fine with that. But 'if the money goes crazy' might be subjective depending on desire.

The #Vikings have stayed in touch on Sam Bradford, but he may have options, provided he can pass a physical. One team to watch: the #Bills. Good scheme fit and they have some interest, sources say. Case Keenum could be an option in Buffalo, too.

As the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes heats up, sources say at least 2 teams are prepared to offer the free agent QB a 3-year, fully guaranteed contract if that’s what it takes. At least one other team will do a similar deal nearly fully guaranteed. Would make him the highest paid QB.

Love this time of year.

Highest paid qb talk is hyperbole...That title will and should belong to Rogers, Ryan, Brady and maybe Wilson too...

Thats pretty crazy. lol. Is it guarenteed even if he is injured?  I can see someone offering more than three years to entice him.  We will see how much Kirk wants to win but it is pretty hard to walk away from that.  This is just getting more interesting.   If Cousins is plan A, I reeeeeeally wonder what plan B is.  Also, if they make a move for O and D line depth. Then what kind of offers do our other three QBs get.

Kirk Cousins may be close to a deal over the next few days. But he won’t finalize anything until he meets with coaches & others. That means Wednesday or more likely Thursday for a final decision.

Interesting...Going to be a long, few days lol! 

Early win would be "pole position" if this is who they want. 

man, i hate the way sports reporting is done now. every time i read something from Rappaport or Schefter it sounds it was tweeted by a valley girl gossiping.

Ha! truth...

But at least the guys with the "real inside scoop" are engaging now...

Cousins better not mess around with his demands.  Rick don't go for that stuff, he'll move on quickly and let Cousins walk.  I'd prefer it that way however, I think we can as good with Keenum and more impact players across the team.
